FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, August 23, 2010 “OLYMPIAN BECOMES PRESIDENT”
Golden Ears Curling Club’s new President is 2000 World Curling Champion and 2002 Olympic Bronze Medalist Diane Dezura. Now retired from competitive events, Diane has worked with the Board of Directors for the past three years and feels her new role has helped her appreciate how important volunteers are. “We each need to put our hand up and say, ‘I’ll do it.’ If everyone gave just a few hours, it would make such a difference in our community.”
Having an Olympian as President seems a perfect fit with the curling world still buoyed with the success of the Canadian curlers and the Olympics. “This is an exciting time for our game”, states Dezura. “Curling received so much TV time, our club was very busy with people wanting to give it a try.” And Golden Ears Curling Club is ready for all who want to join in the fun this year. They have expanded league nights and added more on-ice instruction to make the game fun for people of all ages and abilities.
And Golden Ears Curling Club has even more great news! After two years of hard work and determination, the Curling Club is on solid financial ground. “There were a lot of rumours out there about our financial situation. But thanks to the work of the Board, our Past President, Linda Winterhoff and our club manager, Lynne Jambor, we have turned the corner.”
Whether you are 8 or 80, a family, a couple or only one, it seems at Golden Ears Curling Club you will find good fun and good friends. “It’s a great game”.
